Hi, this position is hit/miss for me, in general the 11622/8527V mux is easier to lock in the day and Kuban in the evening with clear skys keep checking as/when you can all the best.

Good going , I guess your still testing I noticed your post with inverted dish nice work, 62E is a easy lock 40 channels $ feeds turn up though 66E a few radio lock 24/7 managed to lock one channel speda tv and a feed today 68.5 is easy to lock plenty channels open but mainly religious 70.5E one channel easy lock MTA a few HD can be locked in good conditions, will keep an eye on your reports

Indeed - 62E is ok for me - thanks ...... no problem with the scrambled channel transponders
i never expected the sightly Higher/altered position of the inverted dish to make this much difference 54.9 E was my previous limit.....
A barn roof about 25 metres away blocks me beyond 62E see pic ..

I had a fixed 80cm mesh dish on 68.5E a few years back ... and although the signal strength faded in and out it worked quite well overall ... i may put something up again temporary, just for fun. 70.5 is almost certainly out of the question for me here in the north west at 1.3 elevation.... and with quite high hills about 6 miles away ... i,m doing well to get 68.5 (2.4 elevation) i think

I have a full view west with the inverted 1.2 cm dish... but blind scanning last night...
i dont see any k/u signals beyond RASD tv at 45 W ... do you know of anything transmitting beyond there ?

Hi nelson, looking at the dish inverted/not in your pictures its certainly more in the clear I am convinced a prime focus will get you more arc if you have obstacles in the way that's one for discussion ,

RASD is all I get west now in KU I can find data further up but nothing to view, some time ago I received channels from around 60/61W i don't preserver to the west maybe i should check more often you never know its all fun at the end of the day .

 

[blademedia]

BTW 63E should be active soon ? maybe something to chase there ?

 

[Captain Jack]

There are a few data streams on 58W in Ku but nothing to see really.

The RuSat transponder changed its parameters, much easier to lock now, it was very hard before.
11583 V 10000 7/8 DVB-S.
